Deactivating The Alarm; Automatic Engagement Of The Alarm - Alfa Romeo 156 GTA Owner's Manual

DEACTIVATING THE ALARM

To deactivate the alarm, press the button
on the key with remote control. The system
performs the following (with the exception
of some markets):
– the direction indicators turn on twice
briefly
– two beeps are sounded briefly by the
siren
– the doors are released.
IMPORTANT If the led (A-fig. 9) in
the car stays on when the system has been
deactivated, (maximum of 2 minutes or un-
til the ignition key is moved to MAR) the
following should be borne in mind:
– if the led stays on permanently, it means
that the remote control batteries are flat and
need replacing;
– if the led continues to flash, but at dif-
ferent intervals than normal, it means that
attempts to steal the car have been made,
counting the number of flashes it is also pos-
sible to identify the type of attempt:
1 flash:
right front door
2 flashes: left front door
3 flashes: right rear door
4 flashes: left rear door
5 flashes: volumetric sensors
6 flashes: bonnet
7 flashes: boot
8 flashes: tampering with car starting
cables
9 flashes: tampering with battery or
cutting emergency key ca-
bles
10 flashes: at least three causes of
alarm.
AUTOMATIC ENGAGEMENT
OF THE ALARM
(optional for versions/markets
where applicable)
If the alarm has not been engaged with
the remote control it will come on auto-
matically after an established time of 30
seconds from the moment that the ignition
key has been turned to the STOP or
PARK positions and a door or the boot has
been opened and then closed again. This
condition is shown by the intermittent illu-
mination of the led in the car and by the sig-
nalling described previously.
To deactivate the alarm press the button
on the remote control.
The alarm is also automatically engaged
when the doors are closed using the key.
When the alarm is engaged automatical-
ly the doors are not locked.
